Physician Assistant remains one of the fastest growing professions in the US, and the expansion of their role in healthcare delivery seems to be growing just as quickly. One of the biggest changes in that regard, according to Jonathan Bowser of the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine, is that states are opening up opportunities for PAs to practice with more autonomy to fill needs in the healthcare system. “That requires PA education programs to think about who are we putting out there, what environments they are going into, and how do we best prepare them for those environments,” says Bowser, who runs the school's Child Health Associate/Physician Assistant Program (CHAPA), one of the oldest PA training programs in the country. The need to adapt their program to these new realities and the desire to take advantage of advances in learning science led CHAPA to overhaul its curriculum in recent years. The result is a ‘spiral curriculum' - an iterative approach to learning that reinforces key concepts and knowledge as students progress through their years of training.  Join host Hillary Acer as she learns about the underpinnings of CHAPA's curricular approach, what the program is doing to prepare PAs to be leaders and the growing importance of residencies and fellowships to prepare PAs to work in clinical specialties. Mentioned in this episode: CHA/PA Program OverviewManaging Transitions by William BridgesMake It Stick by Peter Brown

We all want to raise our children to be self-sufficient and to explore their own identities, but it can be difficult to strike a balance between control and support. For this episode, we enlisted the guidance of Clinical Psychologist Emily Edlynn, who, through her book ‘Autonomy-Supportive Parenting', provides parental strategies that encourage your kids to have autonomy while also establishing boundaries.  We love how Emily's compassionate, very non-judgmental approach alleviates some of the responsibilities that parents take on. You'll get so many helpful on-the-ground tools for instilling independence in your children and fostering motivation without imposing control. She also touches on questions about giving children allowances, navigating privacy, and how to reward your children in a positive way.

The Root Cause Medicine Podcast is created by Rupa Health, the best way to order, track & manage results from 30+ lab companies in one place for free. The Root Cause Medicine Podcast is a weekly one-on-one conversation with renowned medical experts, specialists, and pioneers who are influencing the way we look at our health and well-being. This week we're joined by Dr. Bahar Esmaili, Director of Clinical Education at Rinovive. In this episode, Dr. Bahar Esmaili talks about dysfunctional breathing, the childhood development of our jaw and facial structures, and how that can impact our health in our adult life. Dr. Esmaili places a great emphasis on the relationship between oral health and overall well-being. She has undertaken multiple advanced education courses that delve into the connection between various aspects of the body, including gait, posture, the alignment of the jaw joint, and tension in facial muscles and how they relate to teeth structure and the airway. Dr. Esmaili is the Director of Clinical Education at Rinovive, Lead Clinical Director at Vivos Institute, and Strategic Advisor for the Council of Innovative Dentistry at 3M. Previously, she worked as a dentist for various companies and received a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Colorado Denver School of Dental Medicine. Key Takeaways: What are TMJ and TMD? TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, which is the joint that connects the jawbone to the skull. TMD is a term used to describe a range of conditions that affect the TMJ and the surrounding muscles and tissues. Some of its symptoms include pain or tenderness in the jaw, difficulty chewing or opening the mouth wide, as well as headaches or earaches. Teeth and total body health Teeth are not born with us but come into the equation later, and they can affect our overall body health. The hinge of our jaw is directly aligned with the two first two vertebrae in our neck. All the muscles making the hinge of the jaw happen are directly affected by the position of the lower jaw. So if the lower jaw is far back or is hiding on there, you have a neck issue. When the mandible is tucked underneath an underdeveloped maxilla, it can push against the airway, leading to breathing difficulties. This causes the head to go into a forward posture, resulting in neck issues and affecting the curvature of the spine from top to bottom. Environmental factors and facial development Environmental factors such as chewing functions, swallowing correctly with the tongue at the roof of the mouth, and breathing through the nose are necessary for facial development between ages four to seven. Lack of breastfeeding and tongue tie can lead to various issues in children, such as a stuck back jaw, pushing the tongue and palate against the airway, making it difficult for them to breathe. This leads to further problems such as jaw issues, TMJ headaches, and back problems. Understanding sleep breathing disorder The growing epidemic of mouth breathing in children due to underdevelopment of the sinuses and nasal passages can lead to symptoms such as noisy breathing, mouth breathing, snoring, sleep apnea, ADHD, fatigue, and brain fog. Some causes might include misalignment effects on the body, including masking pain with neurotransmitters, metabolic and neurotransmitter issues, an overactive immune system, or narrower airway difficulty reaching the deep sleep stage necessary for hormone regulation.

Our immune systems become less robust as we age. With an autoimmune disease such as multiple sclerosis, a weakened immune system can lead to less relapses and active MRI lesions. However, many people living with multiple sclerosis develop progressive disease with worsening physical and cognitive disability as they age. Strategies to live better with MS as one grows older are shared. The vast majority of treatments for multiple sclerosis have been studied in people 55 years of age or younger. However, 46% of people living with MS are older than age 55. New studies are answering important questions about MS treatment in older patients. At what age can treatment safely be stopped without risk of relapse or worsening disability? Safety concerns such as serious infections, cancer risk, and immunization responsiveness in older MS patients on immunosuppressive treatments are addressed. Barry Singer MD, director of The MS Center for Innovations in Care, interviews: Bianca Weinstock-Guttman MD, Professor of Neurology at the Jacobs School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences in Buffalo, New York, and the Director of the Jacobs MS Center for Treatment and Research. John Corboy MD, Professor of Neurology at the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine and Co-Director of the Rocky Mountain MS Center.

Suicide prevention is a worthy goal itself, but it's about more than stopping just one suicidal event – it's also important to address the emotional pain underlying suicide and build a meaningful life that's truly worth living. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as ACT, is a therapy approach that helps people experience their emotions in a new way, take perspective on their thoughts and build a more meaningful life.  Is ACT a useful approach for addressing suicide? In this episode, Dr. Sean Barnes, clinical research psychologist at the VA Rocky Mountain MIRECC for Suicide Prevention, talks with guest host Dr. Debbie Sorensen about his research on ACT for Life, a new treatment designed to help Veterans respond effectively to suicidal thoughts and actions using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.  In this episode, Barnes and Sorensen discuss:  What ACT is, and why its approach to suicide is unique Sean's intervention, ACT for Life, and how he and his colleagues are targeting suicidal behavior from a contextual behavioral approach Current research on ACT  Responding to suicide-related thoughts using ACT The importance of values in building a life worth living Article:  Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to Promote Recovery from suicidal crises: A Randomized Controlled Acceptability and Feasibility Trial of ACT for life Resources:  National Suicide Prevention Lifeline/ Veterans Crisis Line: 1-800-273-8255 Veterans and Military Press 1 Suicide Risk Management Lecture Series About Sean Barnes: Sean M.

Mental health clinicians want to alleviate human suffering and do what we can to help prevent suicide. And yet, like many stigmatized topics, suicide is often avoided in conversations - including clinical conversations. Basic behavioral science tells us that we humans tend to avoid painful stimuli, and thanks to the double-edged sword of verbal behavior, painful stimuli (like conversations about suicide and suffering) can be both physical and psychological. Suicide stigmatization, as well as uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, can keep even the most experienced clinicians and providers from effectively helping their clients who are experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors. In this episode of Psychologists Off the Clock, Debbie and Sean Barnes, clinical research psychologist and principal investigator of the ACT for Life study, discuss suicidal behavior, ways suicide is challenging for clinicians, and how to effectively engage with clients who have thoughts and feelings related to suicide. As clinicians, we often have limited behavioral repertoires around suicidality in our clients. We often tend to focus on helping clients ‘not die.' However, there is more to life than ‘not dying,' and suicide prevention is only the first, albeit vital, step in recovery. Join us in this episode to learn how to help your client build a life worth living!

Your gastrointestinal tract is approximately 30 feet long, and it runs from your mouth all the way to the anus! We know that celiac disease can impact any part of the digestive tract. But there is another disease that wreaks havoc on the GI tract as well, a condition called eosinophilic esophagitis or EoE. The Gluten Free RN is explaining the fundamentals of eosinophilic esophagitis, from its characteristic inflammation of the esophagus and elevated eosinophils in the blood to the common symptoms of vomiting and upper abdominal pain. She walks us through the treatment for EoE, an elimination diet or steroid therapy. Nadine speaks to the research exploring a possible connection between eosinophilic esophagitis and celiac disease, citing a paper that found a higher prevalence of EoE in children with celiac disease than the general population as well as the case study of a woman with both celiac disease and elevated eosinophils in her blood. Listen in for the Gluten Free RN’s insight on the best EoE clinics and physicians in the country and learn why further study is needed around EoE and celiac disease!
